Aording to the construction deerimf,

th liquid to be dried passes out of tha pim ture or nparture S upon thelower 1imfr lviigA ma Astream being proportioned to theamount of such`particles formed so as to. preserve the rotating layer.

5. The process ol treating milk toincrease its fineness of'emulsification which consists in delivering the .milk continuously uponYthe surface of a rapidly rotating support and by.

i the action o1c such support convertingthe;

milk into a rotating centrifuga-Uy flowing i. layer, and maintaining thecontinuity of said j layer 4as such until centrifugal action due to saidrotation overcomes the surface tension and cohesion oi the milk, causingthe elrcumference of the layer to divide and disinte rate into a-foglike body of homogenized 'mi k.

6. The process of treating milk to increasek the fineness ofemulsilication which consists 1n converting a stream oi'milk into a thincentrifugally radiating and travelinfiilm,

disintegratinf and discharging t'he ii m circumferential y as a foglike'body of homoenized milk andcollecting the luist in liquid erm. Y

I7. The process of increasing Ithe 'lineness of.` emulsitication of milkwhich consists in converting a stream oll milk into a thin centrifugallyradiating and traveling iilm and disintegratingand discharging the filmas a foglike' body of homogenized milk.

8. The proce'ss of increasing' the fineness of-emulsification of .milkand comlensing the same which consists in converting a stream ofnlilkinto a thin centrifugally radiating and traveling film, `discharging thefilm a mist into a chamber under less than atmosy saam:

pherie pressure and condensing the milk therein. j i

9. The process of increasing the iinenessn of emulsiiication of milk andcondensing the saine which consists in converting a stream of milk intoa thin :entrilugallv radiating and" traveling iilm, discharging t e ilnias a foglike body of` homogenized milk into a heated chamber undervlessthan atmospheric pressure. f

1t). The process of increasing the ineness of einulsiiication of milkand condensing the samewhich-consists in converting a stream y 'of milkinto a thin centrifugally radiating and-traveling ilm, dischargingthefilm as a foglike body of homogenized milk into a heated-chamber underless than atmospheric pressure,speed oftravcl and speed'of feed being soregulated as to errnit partial evaporation of water in said c amber7causing such partial evaporation therein and collecting the condensedmilk produced.

" v11. The proeessof treating and condensing liquids which consists inconverting a stream of liquid into a thin, centrifugally radiating' andtraveling film, discharging the iilm as a lioglike body 1n a chamberunder i less than atmos heric'pressure and causing revaporation of t eliquid thereln.

12. The process of treating and condensing liquids Which consists inconverting va stream of liquid into a thin, cent-rifugally radiatingandtraveling film, discharging the film asa foglike body in a heatedchamber under less than atmospheric pressure and' causing evaporation ofthe liquid therein.'
